MONTGOMERY, Pa., Dec. 29 (UPI) -- A man allegedly stole items from the open casket of a 17-year-old accident victim, Pennsylvania State Police say.
Jody Bennett, 38, of Pine Township, Pa., took a Game Boy, three games and a Game Boy Light during public visitation for Bradley McCombs Jr. of Clymer at the Rairigh Funeral Home in Monday, the boy's family told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Bradley died in a crash on Christmas.
Bennett is charged with vandalism, theft, harassment, disorderly conduct and abuse of a corpse.
Bradley's relatives said his brother found the Game Boy in Bennett's car. Police said Bennett fled when confronted.
The families have been friends for many years.
Bennett has a history of drug and alcohol-related charges, the newspaper said.
"He even had a brother killed when he was drinking and driving," his aunt Dianna Bennett said. "You think that would make him think, but I don't know". UPI
